Thanks for your response. Funny enough, I think I pretty much
understand it!
But, why is that entry titled "Solaris" and not "OpenSolaris" and why
does it include 2008.11? Certainly, this isn't 2008.11 just as it isn't
2008.05. And it's as much one as the other. To avoid confusion I think
the entry for development train updates should be:
OpenSolaris snv_XX X86
Where XX is the highest build level installed. The only entries that
should carry the release number are the official six-month releases.
Regards,
Marty
